...the NPC Social Development Affairs Committee submitted a draft revision to the Women’s Rights and Interests Protection Law [妇女权益保障法], last substantively amended in 2005. While the exact contents of the draft revision are not yet known, it is expected to comprehensively update the Law. It will likely incorporate and refine the Civil Code’s anti–sexual harassment provisions and codify some of the objectives and measures laid down in the State Council’s Outline for the Development of Chinese Women (2021–2030), an all-encompassing policy document touching on issues such as women’s healthcare, education, employment, political participation, property rights, and marital rights. As the Law was original enacted by the NPC, it is possible that the revision will be submitted to next year’s NPC session for a final review.
